lrleretofore, it has been the. jinete a label on the top of the practice to vanity case o five it an ornamental effect or to origin, but the diihculty with this e has been that. after the vanity case the manufacturers hands. the label in some instances would become displaced rand in others would become scratched and tern, and in ne :Instance waey there an); opportunity to renew 'the label .whe it did become worn or for the gnrgiose of ting;l the whim the retailer or user. falso, it has heen proposed to stehn), by means ot a die or the like.7 the ordinary cover of a metal vanity case iii-order to y owing t@ the feutre of the metal of which the cese is construotedv it, has heen impossible to obtain as' line and distinct an effect as is desired.

Referring to the drawing in detail. o denotes the hotly portion of the hol; and Y 'the cover hinged thereto as at c. The cover o has its top Wall eut away as at lG thus providing a relatively narrow annulus ll provided with a peripheral flange l2. Fitted within the said flange l2 is a disk 13 the 'inner face thereoh preferably. being mirrored. ln the present instance. this disk is shown as being in the forni of a glass mirror. The decorative ceverfi'or label le which may be oi cloth, paper. or other suitable material bearing the desired design is located intermediate the inner surface oi the annulus and the top of the disk i3. rllhis cover piece gcnerall 1v circular and is greater in diameter than the opening in the annnlus li so that the edge of the cover piece 14 is covered hv the annulus.

ln the embodiment shown indigs. l to the mirrored disk 13 and the cover 'g'iiece l are secured in place hy a bezel l5 of substantially the same diameter as the internal diameter ot the cylindrical portion l2 of the top so as to have a close frictional tit therein. lt, will fhe seen that the edge of the cover piece is positioned het-Ween the disk 13 and the annitlus 1.1 and that the parts are securely held in place oy the ring l5. e The assembling and disassemhling of .the parte may he verjY readily and. quickly brought about, making it very ec sy for any one who so desires to renew the cover piece le or change it for `a design which better suits his' taste.

its clearly shown in Fig. 2a, the cover piece 14 may if desired he formed with a. raised or struck up portion 1G of such shape 7 oil theo; it completely fiile tho oui? ovvoy portion 10 of the cover and prevents the cover piece from shifting laterally oithough obvi ously it con be :is readily' uoeci Hao if the inner edge of the onnuius is not objectionable; The remaining poi'tion of tho letter forms o iongo 17 which is adapted to lie behind the :mnuus il forming por@ of the cover and prevent the cover piece from boing pushed ouwordly. The holght of the struck up porfion 16 is preferably mode equal to the .thickness of the material of which the vanity cose is constructed, so os ifo avoid forming o i-idge between it and the edge of ih@ annuiiiis il. With this on'ongemen, the to of. the vanity oase., particularly if the laoi were given u brass iinish, wouid op pour, io the casual observer, lo be mode of im integral sheet of brass suitably embossed. A vanity cose may, of course, be of other than circular shope and the cover' instead of loeing` hinged may be of the slip type o1 otherwise. The @over piece in either ombodiment may 012 may not have, ne desiredi 4its oligo extenfliiipg over the odg-2- of the digli. .The edge of thonooveo pieoa may be ose or otherwise amtooiied, oo che disk an frictionally heid betwe'mviho op of the, diei:
